Mounts & Taming

Post by Night »

Hi all! First post!

I recently started playing on this server, so forgive me any innacurate information, or if my suggestion is a nonsense in this case.
I played around 2 years in a "modest" server - bfuo -, but I really liked (me and most ppl) the mounts-spawns-taming-using-selling system. From what I heard, there isn't a lot of options here in terms of mounts, and bfuo had lots of diversity: o'clocks/zostrich/many different coloured llamas and horses/nightmare/evil steed/black steed, just to name some. They spawned in specifical locations with different timings, and searching for them was an addiction.
I noticed there is a problem in this server related to stables being full. The server I played that problem never existed, since we used shrink potions on mounts and we could save them on bags and use them or sell them like any object.

Could this be implemented on uosa? If not, why not?

Hey there, welcome to Second Age :)

To answer your question, it will not be possible for us to implement something like mount shrinking potions, or anything of the sort. The reason for this is because of the main goal of the server. Specifically, we are looking to make Second Age accurate to the mechanics of a specific date in the T2A era: November 23, 1999. Given that goal, the things that can and can't be implemented are limited to what was available at that time. Since mount shrinking potions were not available at that time, we cannot add them :(
